Erik Erikson examined adolescents struggling to discover their own ego identity while negotiating, learning, and understanding social interactions, as well as developing a sense of morality and right and wrong.

Explanation:

Erik Erikson was psychoanalyst who studied adolescents and came up with the theory of psychosocial development. Erikson noticed how we go through states of development concerning our identity and ego. There are, for instance, moments of lack of decisiveness, when we haven't started experimenting and developing our sense of identity yet. There are moments of confusion, when we are already experimenting, but are not sure of what our role is or what represents us.
